Despite using spysweeper, norton antivirus and agnitum outpost, i still continue to be plagued by malware etc. If anyone could give advice to get rid of this permanently i'd be most grateful as this problem has been constantly re-accuring. I'd also appreciate any tips given to spot the unneccessary and spyware regestry keys when running a hijack log.

Well, I see no malware or anything unusual in your log, what symptoms are you experiencing?

When watching divx on the administrator setting/log in it jumps and stalls continuously and my computer doesnt run fast or well at times (even though i have all Nemo Ultimate DivX codec). As you can imagine, this is very frustrating and has dampened my whole media experience.

I also experience difficulty in trying to play mp3's from my dvd-rom. when trying to enjoy this facility, my winamp software doesnt respond and the only resolution is to remove the dvd-rom.

And with regards to the divx, it doesnt seem to have any problems when being used on a non administrator user account !!!???!!!

I ve used many methods to rectify this but to no avail!!! uninstall etc.

Any suggestions to what is causing all this madness to my windows system????

Do these problems occur when using Media Player (or any other player for that matter) aswell?, or just with WinAmp?

I only use WMV files on media player and this too suffers from similar problems as does winamp and DivX.

I also every now and again (when using IE) get a message window display from Norton saying that it has detected a virus that cannot be removed. i think its a dll file called bloodhound or something. However my media problems existed way before said virus was detected. Its very puzzling and frustration.
